When I started this song, I had a vision of a certain way that I wanted it.. As I continued writing and re-writing, with consideration of the feedback, I found that I needed to fish through and find certain points that I needed to keep. With Dan’s help, I have been able to come up [...]

Joseph, post a final version in the Creative Exchange this week, and I’ll do some more feedback. Good work so far. Too many ideas are always the challenge – which ones to implement, and which ones to leave “on the cutting room floor” as they say in the movies. The song vision keeps it all [...]

Joseph, thanks for diving in and taking the risk to try the suggestions. Remember, if you fight for it, try it, get used to it, and after awhile say “Nah,” you can always go back to the original approach. Lifting that pre chorus felt important melodically, and pulling back the size of it. When I [...]

Now that I have received feedback for draft one, I see where the improvement needs to be. Song vision needs to be tweaked a little bit. I got off the path some with too many ideas. I am cutting verse two. It was recommended to drop the fourth line of the verse and cut the [...]

Joseph, check your message for some private video feedback from me. Ran out of my 5 minute time, so the end is hurried. Some thoughts on the next re-write.

Note – Brian D. songwriting course is online under Courses/Electives. Watch the first 2 sessions.

Good thoughts here Joseph – we have only one or two in this session this run (which is normal – or 35 people, I never know from time to time!). Now, you can begin to respond to one another through Friday as they come. Use their username, i.e. @danwilt at the beginning of your response, then [...]

Worship Song Analysis “Mighty to Save” written by Ben Fielding & Reuben Morgan This song is for the corporate worship setting. I am struggling to put my finger on the exact direction of song vision; however I think it is for encouraging Christians or the process from darkness to light. The title is great and [...]

Roll Tide. Just sayin’.

Hi! I’m Dawn Pierce from Huntsville, AL. This particular course is what spurred me to pursue the Worship Training certificate. I am so excited to dig into the nuts and bolts of songwriting!!

Hello, I’m Joe Toft and I am the worship leader for Deford Community Church. I have been leading worship for 5 years and I look forward to learning more of what biblical worship is all about.
